From Hong Kong we took a smooth train ride to Guilin. Li River Cruise from Guilin to Yangshuo was a definite highlight. The views are out of this world – it's a photographer’s dream! In Yangshuo, the West Street was charming with its fusion of local culture and western influences. The next day, we visited the Longji Rice Terraces, which was a unique experience. It’s hard to imagine how people have farmed these slopes for centuries. Pingan Zhuang Village was a quaint village nestled among the terraces, and we loved learning about the Zhuang ethnic group.
